                And the record for the most boring news item of all times to hit the headlines:

                Sibling Road Trip: Man Reportedly Lip-Syncs Songs to Sister in Car for 7 Straight Hours

                On a seven-hour drive in California, Brian Anderson filmed himself pretending to sing several 1990s songs to his sister Ashley, the Daily Mail reported. Ashley eventually participated as well.

                            Harry Connick, Jr's 19 Year Old Daughter Arrested for Giving Alcohol to Minors

                            Am I the only one who reads this news and the first shock I get is "Why would someone successful like HCJr own or even visit a horrible place like New Canaan, CT?"

                                Canadian company gets patent to build the world's first space elevator

                                http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/canadian-company-patent-build-space-elevator-article-1.2330962

                                I read the article and found it lacking, so I dug the patent number up and read the patent. This is interesting.

                                  Rumor was that someone starting making one years ago. The news petered out though and people seem to have forgotten about it.

                                    Parts of California's Central Valley are sinking faster than ever before.

                                    that will cause a problem.

                                        See also: Florida. When you pump out all the groundwater, there is nothing left to hold up the surface. That's how you get sinkholes.

                                          Greece's Prime Minister has stepped down and new elections will be happening. His political party has split and a new party whose platform is to not meet Greece's financial obligations and to default intentionally is now running for government.
